Four metres of charcoal.

The grill runs the length of the open kitchen, and everything is cooked over charcoal in front of you. Walk it with us, end to end.

Adana and chicken shish

Laid across the bars on long skewers and turned over the coals until they're ready to come off.

Lamb chops

Straight onto the bars, charred at the edges and brought to the table off the fire.

Lahmacun and pide

Thin, crisp lahmacun and boat-shaped pide, made for tearing and passing across the table.

Beside the grill there's a flat-top. Smash burgers came in on it five years ago.

Now they outsell the lamb.
